What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Senior Developer Relations Manager position at NVIDIA, where I can support developer engagement and advanced AI technology adoption in the EMEA region. I bring cloud transformation and relationship management experience, along with insight into the local startup ecosystem and go-to-market strategy.

At Momenta Ventures, I lead fundraising strategy and investor engagement for Fund VI, and source and evaluate opportunities for corporate strategic funds Rockwell Automation and Advantech. I also advise C-suite leaders and founders on go-to-market and technology strategy.

At UBS Business Solutions, I directed Microsoft Azure adoption and digital transformation programs that impacted 700+ employees, and guided 50+ cross-functional teams through platform milestones and internal AI/NLP tool rollouts. Earlier, at EPFL Innovation Park Foundation, I managed relationships with 135+ startups and enterprise partners and deployed the hub's first CRM platform.
